Does it feel too long since I released something! Well, partly because I’m a lazy bugger and partly because I feel like I’m holding on stuff for too long, I decided to give them to other subbing group so look out for more collaborations with a lot of subbing groups in the future! XD

This episode of AKB48 Show is entirely dedicated to HKT48 so when Nakama48 (a new subbing group that dedicates their time to sub AKB48 Show, check them out!) approached me to help them sub it, I can’t resist. 🙂

I didn’t had proper internet connection for a week so I may be late in having my say in this. But I still feel like commenting on it. So here are my thoughts on the reformation (especially about HKT48).

This episode is definitely the longest I ever sub something. First half was awesome with Mocchi’s pervertness but the second half was just a lot of talking. That took awhile. A long while.

Also, Lovetan is joining us from this episode onward.

Just one note, Chin chin densha is actually a tram/streetcar that got its name because of the bell that it rang (hence the “chin chin” or “ding ding/ding dong”). But “chin chin” is also a slang word for male genitalia. That’s why I translated it as such (you’ll find out when you watch). Kojiharu used to say it in Ariyoshi AKB Kyowakoku.

I’m experimenting with typesetting for this sub since there’s a lot of puns and explanations. Typing notes here will be too long anyway. Just the sub positions, no fancy styling or anything.

I’ve tested on several media players and some worked and some were wonky as hell. I figured I should just stop tweaking it and release it as it is. VLC player is fine though, MPC tend to make the subtitle go a little to the left. I give up.

So many talking parts in this episode… (^^;)

I give this sub a rating of 70% “Honmayan” and 30% “Zettai uso ya wa”.

This episode features two new members of 2nd Gen, Tashima Meru and Tomonaga Mio! Some might recognize Tashima from Morning Musume’s 10th Generation audition. And holy shit, she’s born in 2000? God, I feel so old right now.

A few notes:

Inoue Yousui is a singer-songwriter in Japan who has a unique way of talking.
